Things have not been looking so promising with the knee the last couple of weeks. I went to the ortho surgen and he asked me what my main concern was and I told him I needed to get going again and could not be laid up all summer. So he gave me some shots in my knee and told me he could do that all summer if it helped and when I was ready to say just fix my knee he would look into things more throughly.
He said I definatly had alot of swelling and some blistering on my knee cap so to try out riding a bike and then go to other easy cardio then to try running but no hills at all. he did tell me to stay off of it for a couple of more days completely.
So I have tried riding my bike. I have alot of knee popping along the way not much pain while I ride but pretty sore when I get off.
Also in the last two weeks I have been told (By my husband) that he will suport me in my running by watching the kids but he has and never will have any interst in running. He was mad at me after the 5k because my knee was all messed up. I had just ran my best race after having the stomack flu for two days and on a messed up knee. He could not even tell me good job. Just upset about my knee. (It costs money)
Last night I was finally so fed up with everything. I put on my running shoes and I left. I ran my two miles in 24 minutes. I did walk some. It was about 9:30 and I had eatten a late dinner so I had a horriable side ache. My knee ached about half way but not anything I could not tolerate. It is amazing what motivation a person can get when they are finally just done and mad.
